Winter in the Adirondacks is one of my favorite times of the year. Winter is often overlooked for the summer or fall months but the snowy months are so amazing. It is worth braving the cold for gorgeous photos in the snow. Each year since their wedding Catherine and Rob have planned a special vow renewal with each other. This year they choose to have their winter vow renewal at the Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placid! I could not have been more thrilled to photograph this special moment for Catherine and Rob. We then made our way to one of my favorite locations for portraits on film outside of Lake Placid.

We drew our inspiration for the elopement from the mountains’ wonder and magic in the depths of autumn. The grasses in the valley fields turned copper, and the moss on the forest floor a deep velvet green that is the perfect complement to the yellow and orange leaves softly falling. The night skies are the deepest navy with stars like you have never seen before glowing like distance candles in the night.

A summer day, a cotton candy machine, French Lavender 75’s, blue skies, and wedding celebration on your sister’s family property in the Champlain Valley of Upstate NY, doesn’t that just sound like a super fun and relaxed wedding celebration?

You and your fiance are relaxed the night before your wedding. Your family enjoys spending time with loved ones they haven’t seen in ages while enjoying the evening breeze and cocktails.

Weddings in upstate NY always have the chance for rain, but if you are getting married in the Adirondacks it is just something to be embraced. Weddings with a little bit of rain are always some of my favorites and Helen and Lee embraced it. The photos at the canoe club were some of my favorites of the day. With the soft light, calm waters and beautiful pastel colors it looks like something out of a dream.
